Wow. So its his mom's car that he was using and its possible then that the stuff was hers? Good for Bri'onte but man his mom almost got him nailed if thats the case. :!


Hopefully he can put it directly behind him, bust his butt in class and work his way up the depth chart and stay in good standing now.

I think if he is suspended it will be something like 1-3 games. If he isn't suspended, he will most certainly be in the dog house or he even might get redshirted (I doubt the redshirt). I'd think at the minimum he will be doing extra work with Marotti.

tSUN may not be so fortunate as to say "he almost hit me". I suspect he will be very orderly: he will look at them, move toward them, hit them, and then run.

Driving school proverb: A near hit is better than a near miss.

There are a number of highly positive things in this story:
- had to borrow his mom's car (?): not paid for by boosters. He survived that temptation.
- no probable cause found to administer breathalyzer etc
- there appeared to be no probable cause for the search, so it appears that he cooperatively consented (but in my opinion perhaps disingenuously)
- the police said he was polite, despite what appears to me to be aggressive search tactics after a routine traffic incident?
- could not even afford a "late model" car, perhaps because he devoted himself to football during the spring and summer, actions that will likely help bring millions of dollars to the state of Ohio in football revenue
- no complaints against him from his friend in the car
- was in an academic position to graduate early from high school, saving his local taxpayers money
- good relationship with his parents

I am extraordinarily impressed. I was not sure such role model heroes existed.

The vultures had been circling overhead: where are they now?

As a side comment, at a personal level, it is interesting the offenses that can be found if someone gets a little too close to a police car. But the police filed no charges against themselves when they almost ran over me in a cross walk, on a dark street, driving inexplicably without their lights on.

Todd Porter: Dunn should have stayed in Columbus

The world is a cynical place. Ohio State running back Bri?onte Dunn is about to find out just how cynical.

Dunn probably had his college football career flash before his eyes over the last several days. He was pulled over late Saturday night two blocks from the Alliance Police Department for driving like he runs the football.

After the traffic stop, police found a ?minute? amount of marijuana in the 2001 Dodge Stratus Dunn was driving. Dunn and his passenger, McKensey Cross, both initially were cited for drug possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. The marijuana pipe was not found on Dunn, Alliance City Law Director Andrew Zumbar said.

Zumbar reviews reports and ultimately decides what charges to file based on the evidence.

Zumbar reviewed the police report, officers? supplemental narratives, witness statements and the dash video from the police cruiser. He is authorizing charges that he can prove, which are disorderly conduct, a seat-belt violation and a car taillight violation.

The car belongs to Dunn?s mother, Donna Hatcher. She showed up on the scene and said the small amount of marijuana found in the car ? who knows if there was even enough to test without destroying all the evidence ? was there before her 6-foot-2, 215-pound son drove it Saturday.

?Based upon the content of all that, I made the decision to authorize charges of minor misdemeanor disorderly conduct instead of drug possession,? Zumbar said.
